Made this piece of nice livingroom mod a couple of weeks ago. A sweet digital pictureframe from an old deprecated laptop. Images and building instructions here: http://www.snabelslash.com/bo/digitalpictureframe/ Enjoy /Boe
looks cool but is very unpractical can you say burn-in also you have to have the guts dangling behind, if not you need a controller that costs more than a new lcd but still very cool.
its a slideshow of course.. new pic every 20 sec.. no burn in.. I can add new slideshows via network or upload to server.. No stuff hanging loose at backend, everything jammed inside pictureframe box.
Its 45mm thick incl frame & glass. When you hang it on the wall you dont really mind the thickness.. And if you make the frame a couple of mm wider than the box holding the mobo you create an even better illusion of flattness..
If the depth really annoyed you, you could sink it into an interior wall. That would mean cutting a hole in it though.
Yeah, I saw that done before. He made a hole in his wall for the hardware of the computer. Nice mod ! I wish I had a useless laptop laying around.. L
